Rid Firefox of an extension??
by Beartooth
I'm running Firefox 24.0 on F18. It keeps telling me I have an
update for AdblockPlus, but when I try to install it, it fails. I've
tried doing it with AdblockPlus enabled, and with it disabled. There is
no button on this extension, as there is on normal ones, to remove it.
How do I just get rid of the whole extension?
Is there an item or a line in my .mozilla, for instance, where I
can just delete it?

OT: C programs and architectures (use on Fedora)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have obtained a set of open-source programs from
http://petertoft.dk/PhD/Recon2D.tar.gz
uncompressed, etc, and it all goes through fine.
When I compile, the programs work fine on my old 32-bit machine
(results make sense), however there is a segmentation fault on my
64-bit laptop.
I compile using:
gcc -c -I../include -O3 -finline-functions -Winline -Wall
-falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2
-Wstrict-prototypes .....
(Note that I had to fix the makefiles in there.)
Btw, I don't know if this could have anything to do with it, but this
set of programs were written in 1996 (when 64-bit probably did not even
exist at all). Also, all the code uses single-precision (floats) rather
than my preferred doubles. (Which makes me ask: is it possible to go
into all the many files and convert all the floats into doubles using
some command? )
Many thanks,
Ranjan

FedUp makes F17 no longer boot after botched "upgrade" to F19
by Fernando Cassia
System: AMD Opteron 2216 server, 2GB RAM
250GB SATA-300 HDD
ATI X1600 PCI-X video card
Running Fedora 17 on an encrypted volume
The system was decomissioned pending hardware repairs for quite a while
(since July-2012). Once I finally gotba spare new hdd and monitor, it was
brought back to life and fetched over 1,400 updates. After that it rebooted
fine to an "as fresh as one can possibly get a F17 installation".
So I thought it would be a nice opportunity to test that "FedUp" thing I
keep reading about... and preserve my nice Gnome 3 tweaks of F17 in the
latest greatest F19....
I told FedUp to use a repo upgrade, as the FedUp wiki recommended that
approach over media install. I thought it'd be also a nice opportunity to
test my 30Mbit FTTH link. Before I knew it it was fetching packages like
there was no tomorrow and the list of packages was scrolling on the screen
faster than one could read it.
It went through several install phases until I was told everything was
ready to proceed with the upgrade which would begin after the reboot.
After the reboot a new entry appeared on the Grub boot menu labeled "FedUp
upgrade" or something along those lines.
After selecting it, the familiar "f"logk appeared alomg with a progress bar
below it. The progress bar completed to 99% or therabouts and then it
stalled. It could have been at 95% or 100% I do not recall (there also was
no numerical reading next to the progress bar so it was hard to tell the
percentage of completion.
After I few minutes it just stood there... I thought Id give it a couple of
HOURS so I could conclude if the process hanged or was just waiting too
long.
Two hours later I came back and saw the screen with the same output I saw
before.
So I grudgingly hit the reset button, thinking that maybe if the process
was incomplete it would re-start after a reboot or Id be shown with some
error mesage about the outcome of the upgrade process.
I was wrong.
In the current state, boot menu no longer shows the FedUp option, only
showing:
Fedora (3.9.10-100.fc17.i686)
Fedora (3.9.10-100.fc17.i686.PAE)
Fedora (3.4.6-2.fc17.i686)
Fedora (3.4.6-2.fc17.i686.PAE)
Fedora (3.4.4-3.fc17.i686.PAE)
Fedora (3.4.4-3.fc17.i686)
NO MATTER what I select, it hangs. Ive tried all kernels. It hangs right
after the [f] logo has its glow, and just stays there.
I would really appreciate any ideas of what might have gone wrong, and I
hope my feedback is of use to FedUp devs. If you want logs etc, I can look
them up and paste to pastebin... as long as I can get back a working
bootable system in the first place.
Thanks in advance...

Where does virt-manager store user config files in Fedora 19?
by Digimer
Hi all,
I've been searching in vain for the files used to store a user's
virt-manager configuration. Specifically, where all the remote
connection entries are stored. Could someone point me in the right
direction?
Thanks!

Annoying KDEWallet
by Oliver Ruebenacker
Hello,
I used to enter wireless passwords once in the wireless configuration and
then it could connect to these networks repeatedly without asking me
anything again.
But then KDEWallet appeared out of nowhere, and every time I wanted to
connect to a wireless network, the KDEWallet came up and asked me to enter
a password.
Now I have a new system and want to never be bothered by KDEWallet again,
but the wireless configuration seems to forget all passwords unless I use
KDEWallet again.
How can I get back to the non-annoying behavior? I have KDE on Fedora 19.
Thanks!
Best,
Oliver

twm: icons size
by Hiisi
Dear list!
I'm using twm on Fedora 19. Everything is perfect except that I don't like
the size of icons on desktop. I.e. when application is minimized a tab
appeared on the screen. And for most applications it look awful:
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7089/77bf.png
icons are too big :-(
How do I change the size of icons?
TIA

hibernate/suspend immediately resumes
by Greg Woods
Judging from the results of Google searches about this, this is a
problem that has been around for a while, but I have not found a
solution that works for my case. Most of the hits were on postings in
the Ubuntu forums, and regarding pretty old versions of Ubuntu at that
(which means they don't account for systemd, grub2, etc. if any of that
comes into play). So I thought I would ask here on the Fedora list.
This is for a brand-new machine with an ASUS Z-87 motherboard, Intel i5
Haswell processor (4 core, 64-bit) and fully updated F19 (64-bit).
The problem is that when doing a suspend or hibernate, the process
completes, but almost immediately the system resumes again. In the case
of hibernation, I have tried forcibly powering it off when the resume
starts. In that case, when I power it on again, the hibernated image
loads, but then the system hangs and never completes the resume.
Just for completeness, the system also has a Windows 7 64-bit installed
OS, and that one is able to suspend and hibernate just fine, which would
seem to rule out hardware issues.
The solutions I found for Linux were of two types: disabling ACPI
wakeups (using "acpitool -W") and "unbinding" USB drivers (not sure what
that even means). I've tried both approaches with no success.
More details: I spent an entire evening last night fiddling with this
with no success, so I really REALLY don't want anyone coming back and
saying I haven't done my homework, or do some Google searches you idiot,
etc. (unless you can point me to the exact Google search I need to do).
I have done these things to the best of my ability already.
# acpitool -w
Device S-state Status Sysfs node

2. RP01 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:1c.0

18. PEGP S4 *disabled pci:0000:01:00.0
19. PEG1 S4 *disabled
20. PEG2 S4 *disabled
So I tried disabling 5, 13, 14, and 15 ("acpitool -w 5" and so forth). 5
can't be disabled (at least, it still shows as "enabled" after running
"acpitool -W 5), so I assume that's the power button. The others show up
as "disabled" after doing this, but hibernate/suspend still resumes
immediately even after doing this.
"Unbinding" drivers is done with a shell script that looks like this:
==============================================================================
function unbind_usb {
for driver in ehci-pci firewire_ohci ohci-pci uhci_hcd xhci_hcd;
do
cd "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/${driver}";
ids=$(ls | grep :);
echo $ids > /var/tmp/DISABLED_$driver;
for id in $ids; do
echo "Unbinding $id";
echo -n "$id" > unbind;
disabled="$disabled $id";
done;
done;
}
function bind_usb {
for driver in ehci-pci firewire_ohci ohci-pci uhci_hcd xhci_hcd;
do
cd "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/${driver}";
for id in $(cat /var/tmp/DISABLED_$driver); do
echo "Binding $id";
echo -n "$id" > bind;
done;
rm /var/tmp/DISABLED_$driver;
done;
}
A script that calls unbind_usb on hibernate/suspend and calls bind_usb
on thaw/resume is placed in /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/S50usbbind .
This does not work either.
The most aggravating thing is that I have another machine built from the
same hardware, and suspend/hibernate works fine on that one, without any
of this being necessary. So it may well come down to determining exactly
which drivers need to be unbound. The machine that doesn't work does
have a couple of additional cards in it (that provide extra USB ports
and some Firewire ports) which suggests the driver for one of those
cards is causing the problem. The original script wanted to unbind
everything that had *hci* in the name, but I found that if "ahci" was
unbound, then I could no longer access anything on the disk, and I had
to push the reset button to recover; maybe that is the hard disk driver.
So I can't just try unbinding everything.
Anything that can point me in the right direction here is greatly
appreciated.
